Topic 2.1 - Motion and Quantities Flashcards
What must always be true when using SUVAT
Uniform Acceleration
What does gradient of distance-time graph represent
Speed
What does gradient of a displacement time graph represent
Velocity
What does gradient of a velocity time graph represent
Acceleration
Describe v-t graph for object in uniform acceleration.
Straight line graph
Describe v-t graph for object in non-uniform acceleration
Curve
Compare v-t graph for UA (uniformly accelerating) and UD (uniformly deaccelerating) object
UA gradient is positive. UD gradient is negative
Define scalar quantity
Magnitude
Define vector quantity
Magnitude and Direction
Name 5 scalar quantities
Speed, Time, Distance, Temperature, Mass
Name 5 vector quantities
Force, Velocity, Displacement, Acceleration, Momentum
Describe the relationship between the perpendicular components of a vector
They are independent of each other
